You only have to change a few things to make the bot work. Follow the install guides first before this. Note this is just a fast guide to make the basic cross chat work with no extra settings.

  1. In the _configuration.json file you should know if your running discord or not. If you are not and only want cross chat then at the top set UseDiscord to false. Otherwise leave to true. You can ignore the rest of those settings for now.
  2. Add your servers to the _configuration.json file. IE
{
      "NameTag": "Island", "You any name you want to use i prefer map name."
      "IP": "192.168.1.2", "This should be your lan ip if on same network or public ip of the server if rented."
      "RconPort": 32331, "Servers default rcon port normally."
      "QueryPort": 27015, "Server default query port normally."
      "Password": "BestPasswordEver", "This must be the admin password for the server."
      "SettingToUse": 1, "default setting to use"
      "Active": true "This must be true for bot to use the server otherwise it ignores it. Use false for your servers you dont run often like event servers and just switch them to true when your ready to use them again note bot must be rebooted after change."
},
  1. If you set UseDiscord to false boom you are done start the CrossArkChat.exe up and it will start working. If you have UseDiscord to true then a few more steps are needed.
  2. Go to Discord Settings at bottom and set a discord CommandPrefix or can leave default of d! this is what you type before your command to use rcon and bot commands in discord only.
  3. Set you discordbottoken this should be done if you followed this discord setup if you havent go do that first to see how to do this.
  4. Under ServerChatSettings set the chatdiscordchannelid this is the discord channel all your servers chat will go to using the default settings. Note you should not run commands here make a separate channel for that.
  5. Make sure SendChatToDiscord is set to true then boom your done start the CrossArkChat.exe and watch chat flow to discord.

For more advance settings look at all the Configuration for filename guides this goes over the settings in detail. The above is just a quick start to make chat work on a basic level.
